Wi-Fi Problem Eugene's Gingerclone R2 Final - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an issue occurring where the wi-fi connection stops at obtaining IP address on the gingerclone ROM. This happened once a few days ago also. I figured it was a bad flash so I reflashed and the problem was corrected. Today it occurred again, I do not believe it is my router because the other devices connected to it (printer, 2 laptops, nintendo wii) all work without any problem. Are there any suggestions to fix this problem permanently without reflashing?

whoops I meant to hit reply and I hit the Thanks Button . lmao
Any way I get the same issue you speak of the way I fix it
is by using a Static IP . Its kind of annoying setting the IP ,
gateway, dns and all but beats reflashing .

Thanks, I'll try it when I get home. Are you on eugene's rom also?

Yup. GingerClone R2.

ping ippdr: unknown "sometimes unreachable"

http client test: unknown "sometimes IOException"

Try resetting your router and try again.

i tried other wifi spots but still i got same results.. what seems to be the problem? do u think its hardware issues? i can detect all the wifi connections available but once i got connected, i cant browse or use the market. is it hardware?
also to add to the problem, i tried the bluetooth, i cant receive files but i can send files to others..
i think best way is to flash another ROM .. Wipe everything before you flash & see it it works otherwise flash Radio if you not having latest one Radio for Hero GSM Then i think VillainROM Guys are having you can check their forums ..and try that
i think i have issues with my wifi at home.. because when i try public wifi's i can connect to some but i also cant to some free wifi. which is weird. i have a wildfire before and this was not an issue for me
Last year I had a similar problem that I fixed by assigning my hero a static ip address. For some reason dhcp did not work.
Strangely enough I don't have that problem anymore.
Back then I had stock 1.5 OS. Now I have every ROM. Well, you know what I mean.

This could very well be an issue with your router firmware. Some routers are just plain ****ty.
Can you maintain a connection without any encryption (WEP,WPA,WPA2,etc)?

[Q] MIUI 2.3.4 (stable) wifi connection problem

Hi guys,
Apologies if there is an answer to this anywhere else on XDA but I had a decent look and was unable to find one.
I recently installed the MIUI mod as per the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079150
The mod looks great and I did not encounter any problems with the install however I now cannot connect to wifi. After entering in the passkey under wifi settings it simply goes through the cycle over and over of:
Connecting.... Obtaining IP address.... Disconnected.... Connecting.... etc.
Anybody know of a solution?
Thanks
I also had similar issues.. It will connect but frequently drop and while connected, the speed is ridiculously slow.. I wish i could find a solution.. 3g speeds are great and its not the wifi network causing the problem..

this happens to me with my router netgear (is a router issue). i need to reboot router in order to reconnect my defy to wifi. If you doesn't solve try to install latest miui.us 1.8.5, is newest and stable
Just installed 1.8.5 and still no dice. I am also going through a Netgear router so that may be the issue however reboot did not fix the problem for me.
Update:
Currently logged on to wifi at work with no problems at all so it must have something to do with the router. Is there anyway I can counter this by forwarding the IP address through a port or something?
Interestingly, I am also having the same problem with my bluetooth. My car stereo has bluetooth for hands free and I can instantly pair with this device but cannot connect to it. It again just gets stuck in a "Connecting...." loop but is never able to finish connecting.
Am I missing something simple or should I just give up on MIUI for the moment in favour of something else such as CM7...
I just updated my Desire and same issue.. any solurions?
Give CM7 A try... wait for a while... there will be an RC update with 2.3.5

i flash miui on my moto defy
you have tried the 2.3.5a stable? has no problem
It might have something to do with the base Android system you had before. I've read that flashing the Nordic sbf, then rooting it, full wipe (factory reset, cache, dalvik) and then install might fix your issues.

I had the same problem with CM7 RC1 (RC0 worked), with Barebones Froyo and now with MS2Ginger... It connects to the router...but the internet speed is really slow... I changed the router to G mode and nothing.
With MIUI 1.8.5 my wifi worked ok...

[Q] Wifi connect issues on CL3ANTH3ORY 1.2

Ever since I flashed CL3ANTH3ORY 1.1 (now on 1.2) I have not been able to connect to wifi at home. I was running AO5PTH3ORY before and it connected fine. Before that I was running BAMF Remix 2.1 and it connected fine.
It scans, it finds, it connects, it tries to obtain an IP Address, then it disconnects, scans, finds, connects, tries to obtain an IP Address, then disconnects, repeat, repeat, repeat, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance!
Its a known issue that is being worked on. Look for a fix soon.

Good lookin out... that means I May need to go back to a different ROM for now so that I can use some of the apps I have that communicate to my laptop via WiFi.
I appreciate the info!

+1 For the candystore fix.. worked for me
I'm not able to find anything in there to address wifi connection... I would imagine it'd be under system fixes/tweaks, but all I see is Solid BG Notification, Remove location and add alarm, and Tether Fix. Under Mods I do not see anything in regards to fixing wifi.
I apologize if I'm missing something easy... I appreciate the advice and time helping me address this problem.

Ahh sorry, I piggy backed off of the previous commenter with the wifi tether track
Wifi is working for me.. In fact, I have better range than I did stock (might be me imagining it though). Is it open or encrypted? I'd try deleting the profile and re-adding it if you haven't already
Yeah I tried that... I was hoping moving from 1.1 to 1.2 would do the trick, but it didn't help.
I have it protected with WPS. I tried using all 3 methods to connect (forgetting the network between each test)... the password, the button, and the pin. What's strange is even when it says "connected obtaining ip address" it doesn't show as an attached device on my router. Maybe that's just because it hasn't been assigned an ip address yet.
Question... Is this something that is usually controlled by the ROM or the kernel?
I'm sorry... It's WPA protection... but tried connecting through WPS as well as manually.
It's Kernal based...
And the fix in the candy store worked perfectly.
I was cruising along on his AOSP build before this morning, now that tethering is working again...back to things making "sense"...
I think you may have misread my issue... It's not an issue with WiFi tethering... It's an issue with the phone connecting to my home WiFi network.
I hope this helps. Thanks!

No reports of a WiFi issue at all... Have you flashed a different kernel? I would wipe Cache/Dalvik and Format /system then reflash.

I did flash dream kernel 2.3.6. I just read in the main thread for this ROM that someone else had the same issue (post #591). I guess I should have given the HTC Kernel a chance, ay?
Do you have just the kernel available for downloading and flashing? I checked the official list and it isn't posted there. If not I'll just wipe and flash... I know this should fix my other issue as well with the advanced power menu (thanks again for the input), but since I have a workaround for that now (Quick Boot app) I was hoping to alleviate another wipe/flash until 1.3 of clean was available.
Thanks again for your help!
Another workaround I would suggest trying is manually setting your connection instead or relying on dhcp. You probably have a network id of 192.168.1.1, broadcast id of 255.255.255.0 and can attempt to try an ip in the rage of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.149
For more detailed stats, run ipconfig /a for windows or ifconfig -a if you are on linux/unix/osx

Good lookin out! As soon as I set it to a Static IP I connected right up!
I would still be interested in reflashing the HTC kernel mod, but at least this is working.
Thank you sir!

it sounds like the kernel has an issue with dhcp.

Wifi Help Please - Connected to Wifi but after 1min or so fails to browse

Hi All,
I have a very odd issue.
My phone can connect to my wifi router no issues. When it first connects it will browse and receive services from the internet no issues. However, after maybe 1-2 minutes all internet service requests die, the phone is still connected to the router as the wifi signal is there and strong.
I have tried changing the security on the router, updating the kernel / rom and i still encounter the same issue. I'm convinced this is a small bug.
If anyone has come across this please let me know how you dealt with it.
Thanks in advance
are you on stock ROM/kernel? Does it happen after you turn your screen off and back on?
Had same problem, router issue something about firewall, had to manually enter phone's Mac address into router

I've reserved the address on the router that includes the MAC
Seems as though security setting above WEP e.g. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] causes the issue.
Anybody know of a fix for this?

Obtaining IP Address

Most of you have probably heard or seen this before. When you connect to a router over wifi it gives you a loop which reads "Obtaining IP Address." I have searched everywhere and cannot find a fix for this. I have an Amaze and I'm with Mobilicity. I am on the stock rom. I was on the energy rom but reverted back to stock. When I was on energy I had wifi issues. Under wifi it would say error, so i reverted to stock from a stock rom i downloaded. I also don't want a workaround such as static ip. I have tried things like resetting routers and my phone. Nothing of that nature has worked. Please if anyone can help. Thank you.
EDIT: I installed a new rom which was the bulletproof 2.0 and worked like a charm. my problem is now resolved.
Static ip won't help, yes you can connect to wifi with static ip, but cannot get connection to internet. This is a bug of android, and ITs in Princeton univ. had some investigation. It's due to renew and release of address. 4.2 should have fixed it
